I'm really interested. I've never gotten into the way KDE does things, so I've always stuck to gnome, but I'm always happy to see development and diversity in FOS Software. I'll definitely check out some videos about it

I've used flatpak for a while because it's the default ob Fedoras GUI Software Center, but I've recently switched back to dnf and native packages where I can.

The thing is, that I have a shitty 500GB SSD with a shitty 50Mbit Internet connection (which is closer to 30Mbit because my house still has lead cables instead of copper). So downloading 300+ MB of libraries for a 2MB Program is just not feasible for me.

I'm using chrome on phone, because it's basically part of the operating system, but I did like Fennec. It's a fork of Firefox mobile with a few more privacy features (or so they advertise)

The German word for salmon is "Lachs" but it's pronounced "Lax". I wonder who had the word first

Maybe. I still don't see how not having rights as a worker (or in this case my rights not being respected) helped to develop my personal wealth.

If your claim, that workers rights diminish wealth, is true, I should have become more wealthy instead of less. Right?

Who's Wohlstand? I've worked 40, 60, 80 and even 100-Hour weeks and at the time I've always had to live paycheck-to-paycheck because my Bosses would pay close to minimum wage (less than if gerechnet auf die Stundenzahl), invent breaks I didn't take to balance out any overtime I had or just not pay overtime in the first place (but still demand it).

Explain how my Wohlstand was diminished by having too many rights

This just in: A Florida man says not hitting himself in the face helped him end his chronic jaw pain. More at eight.

You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine, that spies on you every hour of every day.

You are correct. It is illegal.

The problem is, that the law is not absolute. Neither in it's writing nor it's application.

Large companies regularly break the law (especially data protection) and face very little consequences. Either because they can afford a staff of lawyers to find and build loopholes, or through schmoozing with the right desicion makers. Paying a fine of 20 million is not much when you made 20 billion (20 thousand million) in profit.

Even more so, very large companies (think Facebook or Google) hold enough political power to influence or even change laws.
